5 Easy Steps to Lose Belly Fat

Are you suffering from excess belly fat that won't budge no
matter what you do?

Have the flashy infomercials convinced you that your belly
fat is directly related to stress and that they have the
miracle pill that will get rid of it with no effort on your
part?

Are clever marketing ads suggesting your can rid your
stubborn belly fat by investing in their "breakthrough"
ab-machine?

Not only is belly fat unattractive, it's unhealthy. You're
probably aware of this and have tried to do something about
it, haven't you?

Let's face it. You've tried everything and nothing has
worked thus far. Stop playing games with yourself. This is
your body and your health, and it's about time you got the
TRUTH about how to lose belly fat.

Fact #1 on How to Lose Belly Fat - As frustrating and harsh
as this may sound, it needs to be said. You will NEVER lose
belly fat by doing countless crunches every day. If so,
wouldn't most people have them by now? You can do crunches
until you are every color of the rainbow in the face and it
WILL NOT get rid of belly fat.

Fact #2 on How to Lose Belly Fat - Fancy and expensive
ab-machines won't get rid of belly fat. Most the ab-gadgets
marketed focus on spot reducing, suggesting to the consumer
that all they need to do is use their "state-of-the-art"
ab-device and they will get rock hard abs.

Fact #3 on How to Lose Belly Fat - Fat-loss potions and
other "miracle" quick fixes will not get rid of belly fat.
Many marketing companies wait for the next new piece of
"scientific evidence" to emerge so they can use just enough
"scientific fact" to create a product and make extravagant
claims that hit the consumer at the emotional level.

Fact #4 on How to Lose Belly Fat - Fad diets are the worst
of all the belly fat scams. Fad diets prey upon the
desperate. They evoke restriction and deprivation, cause a
loss of muscle, bone, and water, and in the end, completely
destroy the metabolism.

What You CAN Do To Lose Belly Fat I know what you are
probably thinking at this point and I now have you
completely depressed. Alas, I'm going to tell you how to
lose that belly fat you hate and have been trying to get
rid of.

If you implement these methods I'm about to discuss, you
will begin to notice your mid-section decreasing in size
and belly fat will slowly melt off, the right way. When you
take fat off the right way, it's less likely to return. The
idea is to create control and then maintain that control.

Keep in mind that this is not a "quick-fix" and you will
not see results overnight. Sorry, but I speak the truth.
What you can expect is:

Continual belly fat loss over the course of several weeks
or more

To have less cravings

Feel the changes as well as see them

To increase your health and self-esteem

Lose Belly Fat Rule #1 - Detox your body and organs.
Studies show that a body that's been purged of impurities
functions better than one loaded down with toxins. Cleaning
your intestinal track is the first step to good health.

Lose Belly Fat Rule #2 - Clean up your eating habits. The
eating rules are to eat natural food derived from the
earth. Eat a small balanced meal every 3 hours. Taper off
complex carbs toward the end of the day. Doing these small,
yet effective dietary changes will purge your body of
toxins to allow the nutrients to be utilized and it will
also boost your metabolic rate.

Lose Belly Fat Rule #3 - Drink water. If you already
drinking water, drink more. Water is vitally necessary in
toxin removal as well as getting fat moving and flushing it
out of the body.

Lose Belly Fat Rule #4 - Cardio constitutes as an effective
means of reducing belly fat, provided you keep it within
reason. Losing belly fat with cardio is a tool, not the
sole answer as many people may think. Doing 20-30 minutes
of high intensity interval training three to five times a
week is sufficient to boosting your metabolic rate and
burning fat.

Lose Belly Fat Rule #5 - Abdominal exercises are wonderful
in building a strong midsection. When you build stronger
abdominal muscles you will look and feel better, improve
posture, and alleviate lower back pain. You can do a wide
array of various forms of crunches up to 4 times a week.

Lose Belly Fat Conclusion The bottom line about how to get
rid of belly fat is not by investing tons of money into
fancy gadgets, expensive pills, and starving oneself, but
it's in nourishing the body, purging the impurities and
exercising.

You won't have a model-ready body by tomorrow, but in time
you will lose the belly fat and keep it off.

Now that you have the TRUTH about how to banish unsightly
belly fat, use this information to your advantage and you
will be unstoppable.

Forgotten Health And Nutrition Secrets

Now days so many people live in a fast paced existence that
leaves them reaching for a fast meal from convenience stores
and fast food restaurants. Unhappily, these kind of foods, many
of which incorporate chemicals and food coloring, are harmful to
health.

To cut out the chemicals and preservatives for continued good
health, means going back to food in their natural state. Skip
the pre-packaged and pre-prepared foods as often as possible.

These fast foods are not whole food giving the vitamins,
minerals and enzymes needed by your body. Sometimes what is
eaten is not even real foods and provide little nutrition to
build or restore health.

You need to take a look at what you eat and whether you are
getting your health and nutrition needs met. One health and
nutrition secret is to use the first-rate foods, grown
organically if possible.

Eating a balanced diet is genuinely the best way to ensure that
you have good health and good nutrition. Nutrition experts
suggest that the daily diet include so many servings from the
five food groups of breads and cereals, vegetables, fruits,
milk, meat/protein such as poultry, fish, beans, eggs and nuts.
Fats would be included, but used sparingly.

People living 50 to 100 years ago usually ate that way all the
time, gaining nutrition from whole grain foods, vegetables and
fruits grown and eaten fresh from the garden, or sold locally.
They generally ate smaller amounts of meat or chose meals with
beans, peas and other legumes.

Are you one of the people that consider that if you don t eat
well, you can just pop a vitamin pill and make up for it? Here
is an additional health and nutrition secret: your body absorbs
vitamins and minerals found in foods more readily than those
found in vitamin pills.

Make vegetables, specially leafy green vegetables very dominant
in your diet for a natural source of the vitamins and minerals
that you must have for good health. Without this good source of
nutrition, it is very hard to have good health. Choose genuine
food over vitamins, then fill in if you think you are lacking
with a super food powder.

Put this health and nutrition secret to work in your daily life
and you will find over time that you are taking your health to a
new level, rather than sacrificing your health because of poor
or empty nutrition.
